ARNOLD osm um Rona AfiD ALFRED nrmrun'rn, or NEw roan, 11.x.

Be it known that we, ARNOLD Grumman RONA, a subject of the Emperor of Austrla- Hungary, and ALFRED HERFURTH, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at New York city, in the counties of New York and Kings, respectively, and State of New York, have 1 invented certain new and useful Improvements in Articles of Manufacture Suitable for Use as Packing or Filling for Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

- 1 This invention relates to a new article of manufacture suitable for use as a packing or filling in chocolate boxes, jewelry boxes 7 or the like, or for table mats, padding for clothes, and so forth, or for protecting articles whichhave a tendency to be scratched,

and for general industrial utilization.

According to this invention we provide an article of manufacture consisting of'a plurality of interleaved sheets of paper and sheets of textile raw material or other textile goods, the textile goods and the paper or the like being caused to adhere together by the application of adhesive and the subsequent indentation of the superimposed sheets. The indentation of the improved article causes the parts to adhere together more securely and also serves to increase the desirablepadding qualities of our new article of manufacture. In addition the inden-. tation'produces surface depressions which afford, a desirable ornamental effect.

The invention will now be de c with v Referring to Fig. 1, the packing or filling leaf comprises a top sheet a, an interpose sheet 6, and a bottom sheet 0. In Fig. 1 the sheets are represented as being pulled apart on the left hand side, in order toshow more readily the differences in the material of which said sheets are made. It will be noted that sheet a is made of paper or other material, such as celluloid, cheese cloth, woven textile fabric or the like, having the same general characteristics as paper, andin the preferred form of the invention, this sheet a and the sheet a are made of a tissue paper or. crinkled paper, although in some cases we may use waxed paper, J a anese paper, waterproof paper, and in fac we may use FOR USE AS A PACKING OR FILLING FOR BOXES.

hardness or any other quality which it is desired to impart to the outer faces of the .filling. The outside face of the filling con.-

stituted by the part b may be of anykmd-of textile'raw material or fabric, which'i's preferabliy unwoven, and we prefer to use cotton wad ng, cotton waste, absorbent motton,

wool, felt, etc., for this purpose. The three parts a, b and c are caused to adhere together toform a single composite body or .unit by adhesive action between the parts. This adhesive action can be secured in a number of ways, for instance, by applying aste, sizing, gum or glue to the inner surfaces of the parts a and 0, thereby causing these to adhere to the inner portion, or applying adhesive substances to the inner portion, and then applying the outer portions thereto.

.any paper having regard to the strength,

After the adhesive has-been applied and the parts superimposed, the outer surfaces of the resulting sheet are indented to obtain perfect adhesion of the parts. The indentation of the improved article may be effected by means of a roller or the like so as to form ornamental depressions as shown by d in.

Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 shows the invention embodied in a sheet of corrugated paper consisting of two' sheets of paper 9, h, with interposed layer of cotton z, the corrugations being made by passing the completed article through corrugated rollers which may also serve to indent the outer surfaces thereof as previously described. The article can be similarly 'embossed or plaited, if desired.

It will be understood that the article-of manufacture made in accordance with our invention, is suitable for a variety-of purposes, as it has all the qualities of the paper from which it is made, together with the qualities of the textile raw material to which the paper is connected. It will befound to have special value in connection with the filling of chocolate boxes, when a layer of" chocolates is covered with a sheet of material made in accordance with our invention.

What we claim is: 1. As an article of manufacture, a layer of textile raw material, and a layer of paper above and below said raw material, each layer being indented toward and adhesively secured to said raw material;

' 2.- As an article of manufacture, a plurality of sheets of paper and cotton waste interposed between said sheets of paper and indentively and adhesively secured to the inner faces of said sheet.

3. As an article of manufacture, a plurality of sheets of paper, cotton wedding inter- 5 posed between said sheets and secured thereto, said sheets being indented and forming a composite mass.
